The story goes as follows: Princess Dragon Mom (Demon Princess Elzebub in the original) wakes up from hibernation and decides to conquer Earth, so she defrosts a few monsters — including the tentacled Octopus Mutant, the fire-breathing Emperor of Doom, and the oddly cuddly-looking Nemesis — and sends them out to wreak havoc. In order to combat them, young Science Patrol member Rayma volunteers to become cyborg Henshin Hero Inframan. Kung fu is utilized, motorcycles are ridden, Chekhov's Guns are fired, and even One Winged Angels prove to be vulnerable to Thunderball Fists.

The Super Inframan provides examples of the following tropes:

Beam-O-War: The Laser Horn Monster gets into one of these with Inframan. Subverted — Laser Horn Monster simply breaks the stalemate by shooting him with the other horn.

Chekhov's Gun: Inframan is equipped with tiny missiles that can be used to thaw him if he ever gets frozen solid. But what are the chances of that?

Chewing the Scenery: A silent example: One of the monsters won't stop swaying and manages in one scene to slowly but surely move into almost every shot even though he has absolutely no relevance in the scene at all. It's distracting as all Hell.
